Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints
How can I get into the village?
1 of 8: Its northern entrance is hopelessly blocked, so start down the path that leads SE from it.
2 of 8: Watch for shades to start attacking you when you get near the docks area. Hang back so you can take them on a few at a time.
3 of 8: Use the Essence of Cunning that's at the end of one of the piers, then head south until you encounter a talkative spirit and get the "A Maiden in Distress" optional quest.
4 of 8: Kill off the skeletons that ambush you after the conversation, then use the nearby door to enter the Shadowy Crypt area.
5 of 8: Move forward and beat down another skeleton ambush, then move on to a path intersection which has another skeleton ambush. (Note that each ambush features a special ranked corpse or two.)
6 of 8: Go east at the split to finish the "A Maiden in Distress" optional quest and find an Essence of Magic (and an Essence of Constitution hiding in a coffin), then return to the path split and finish off the new skeleton ambush.
7 of 8: Take the south path to find an Essence of Cunning and yet another skeleton ambush. (Don't the undead have anything better to do?)
8 of 8: After they're "dead," go up the stairs and use the tunnel's transition point to enter the village.
